Conditionally format subtotal for matrix report

I have a matrix that will pull out the current quarters sales figures. I want to change the color of the subtotal font ONLY when we are in the current period. I have a boolean field in the matrix report that is true when it is the current month.

For example, at the end of last month it displays January, February and March figures. I want the sub total to display the totals for January and February in white, whilst the totals for March are Yellow.

Any ideas anyone?

You can use expression for the subtotal style. Just check the value of your bool field in the expression, and return the corresponding color.|||

Unfortunately, that doesn't work.

I am using a condition in the color field of the subtotal properties checking the boolean value - and it ALWAYS thinks that the value is true, whether it is or not. Problem is that I have a mixture in my matrix - the previous 2 months hold false, the current month true and I am displaying all 3 months.

I am using the following in the color field in the properties of the subtotal:

=IIf(Fields!CurrentPeriod.Value, "Yellow", "White")

And it is showing yellow for all months.

Any pointers greatfully received

Hi folks,

I have tried various methods for conditional formating in subtotal. Everything is working in development environment, but when i deploy and see the report in the http://ReportServer/reports, it is not being implemented. But when i print from the report from report server, i can see the conditional format !!!!

Can anyone give solution for this?

Regards,

Hi there,

This worked for me:

=iif(inscope("Rating_Group") and inscope("RowRating_Group"),"white","Gainsboro")

Use in any of the attributes (Font, Color, Borderstyl) of the Data cell, in other words the cells that will contain the values of the matrix.

"Rating_Group" and "RowRating_Group" simply represent the Group which the subtotal belongs to. I had two subtotals on my report that's why I used both.

This can be a column group or a row group.

You should be able to format the subtotals to your heart's content with this beaut.
